Christina Aguilera and Cassie CD Reviews

Dec 27, 2006

Pop-veteran Christina Aguilera is dropping her sixth album and newbie Cassie is launching her debut. Kidzworld checks 'em both out!

Christina Aguilera - Back to Basics

Christina Aguilera is showing off her vocal talents yet again on this vintage-inspired double album. The first disk samples old-school standards while still remaining true to the old Aguilera image on tracks like Still Dirrrty and Thank You (Dedication to the Fans). The second disk blends a bluesy '20s feel with Christina's powerful vocals. The old-school/new school mix fits as well as your favorite pair of vintage Levis.

Back to Basics was leaked to the internet two weeks before the actual release date.

The second disc only features songs Christina did with Linda Perry and only contains music that was played live - there's no samples.

Two weeks before it's official launch, Back to Basics reached number three on iTunes - based on presales alone.

The second album features a documentary that shows a behind-the-scenes of the making of the album.

Christina Aguilera - Back to Basics Rating:

Cassie - Me & U

Cassie's self-titled debut is packed full of dance tracks and synth-heavy club mixes. Me & U is an instant summer dance hit, while tracks like Long Way to Go and Ditto have a more chill vibe. While the tunes are catchy, Cassie's vocals are nothing special. Buy the single instead of the album and save yourself a few hard-earned allowance dollars.
